Dove Inn

Beschreibung

A two-storey, detached, Grade II Listed, Georgian building set back from the road in a good size plot directly opposite the railway station, with 15 private parking spaces. The property has a wealth of character features including open fireplaces and oak beamed ceilings and benefits from en suite letting rooms, games room, vodka bar and an open plan bar and restaurant. The business provides a tremendous opportunity for an experienced operator either looking to run a successful business themselves or alternatively, looking for a business to lease or run under management.

Lage

The Dove Inn is situated in the heart of the affluent Hampshire village of Micheldever Station, three miles from Micheldever village, which offers a range of local amenities including a church, village stores and post office, Church of England primary school and two village halls. Equidistant are both the historic Cathedral city of Winchester and the town of Basingstoke, with main arterial routes including the A303, M3 and A34 within easy reach. Micheldever Station is a commuter village with a mainline railway station offering services to London Waterloo in under an hour.
